- Traditionally, teams struggle in the final 10 races of the season, but
don't try to tell that to Mark Green and the Timber Wolf/Brewco Motorsports
team.
After experiencing a string of misfortunes during mid-season, Green and the
Timber Wolf team have been making a steady charge towards the front, resulting
in one top 10 and five top 15 finishes in the past six events. They are
currently 13th in the series point standings, 156 points out of 10th place.
"As unusual as it may sound, our lack of experience may be allowing us to
excel in the final races of 1997," explained Green, a resident of Owensboro,
Kentucky. "Both the crew and I are competing in our first full season in a
touring series. The only experience we have is trying to get the Timber Wolf
car to front. We don't know anything else. Each week we are learning something
new and I feel it is helping us to succeed."
- Mark Green is driving the No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo named
'Stanley' in the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, the same car he
raced in the Moore's Snacks 250 on April 12. It is also the same car which he
attempted to qualify in 1996 at BMS.
"We brought the same car back to Bristol which we used in 1996 and earlier
this season," said Green. "On both occasions we crashed. As the saying goes,
'The third time's a charm.' Hopefully, it will be the case here."
- Mark Green will sign autographs on August 28 at the Piggly Wiggly
supermarket on 1945 W. Palmetto Street in Florence, South Carolina from
4:00-6:00 pm. The No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo show car will also
be on hand.
- Double Kwik, headquartered in Wise, Virginia, is an associate sponsor on
the No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the Food City 250 at Bristol
Motor Speedway. The convenience store chain has 56 locations throughout
Southwest Virginia and Eastern Kentucky.
